Facebook announced Wednesday that it will ban speech supportive of white nationalism.
"Today we’re announcing a ban on praise, support and representation of white nationalism and separatism on Facebook and Instagram, which we’ll start enforcing next week," Facebook said in a statement. "It’s clear that these concepts are deeply linked to organized hate groups and have no place on our services."
"Going forward, while people will still be able to demonstrate pride in their ethnic heritage, we will not tolerate praise or support for white nationalism and separatism," the statement said.
